I played as an assistant in ancient times

Chapter 111 Fog

Miao's face was originally chubby, and now half of it was swollen. He endured the pain and looked at the two people carefully. He had an impression of them but was not sure who they were, so he stretched out his voice and asked, "Who are you?"

"The Shen family from Jiuli Village, Linghe." After confirming that it was him, Shen Cungeng bowed.

Miao Dongjia hurriedly returned the gift, but his face was distorted, "Forgive me, I have a toothache."

"I may be able to help you a little." His eyes lit up when he saw Taoist Master Hengxi taking off the needle bag.

I also heard Shen Cungeng say: "Daoist Master Hengxi is a Taoist doctor from Wuzhong Taixu Temple. He often sees patients at Jirentang in the county:"

Miao Dongjia nodded decisively and said, "Thank you for your help."

As he said this, he did not forget to give the medicine boy a few cents to borrow a place to give him acupuncture.

It was thanks to the Taoist priest’s good medical skills that after just a few needles, Mr. Miao stopped hissing and crying in pain.

A quarter of an hour later when he removed the needle, he actually felt heat rushing out from the place where the needle was removed.

Miao touched his face later and found it was not so swollen, so he asked the Taoist priest to prescribe some medicine.

Then he started talking with Shen Cungeng, and he said, "So you live in Cheyuan Hutong, Lingchunfang, and I happen to be renting the fourth house from the west in Jiejia Hutong to the south.

If you don't mind, you can take my carriage?"

He carefully observed that the two men looked exhausted, with a thick layer of dust on their shoes, so they probably didn't take a car.

"We still have to go shopping, so we won't keep you any longer." Shen Cungeng pointed to the medicine on the table.

Miao couldn't help but cover his face again, "Alas, I've really been too angry lately.

In that case, I will take my leave now and visit you again another day.

I just don’t know how many days you will stay in Beijing and which hotel you will stay in.”

"About a month ago, the address is the second house from the east, the owner's surname is Lu." Shen Cungeng also knew that this person was his big customer, it would never be a bad idea to contact him more often.

Upon hearing this, Miao became even more friendly. He endured the pain and chatted with them for a while before leaving, leaving Shen Cungeng confused.

But what surprised him was that the next morning, when they came back from taking a bath in the Xiangtang Restaurant, Mr. Miao was already waiting at the gatehouse.

He also carried a large number of gift boxes, saying they were souvenirs and a thank-you gift to the Taoist priest, and he carried them into the living room himself, so Shen Xiaoye couldn't stop him from moving them.

She asked, "Miao, why are you so polite?"

"We are all friends. And I was lucky to meet the Taoist priest yesterday. He is very good at using silver needles. I also took the medicine he prescribed. After one dose, my swelling was mostly gone." What Miao said was not an exaggeration. His face was not as swollen as yesterday. At least people could recognize him at a glance.

Taoist Master Hengxi, as a guest, just smiled and said nothing, wanting to see what he was up to.

As expected, Master Miao didn't waste any time and just said, "To be honest with you, Miss Shen, I have something to ask for help, but I really can't find anyone else, so I want to ask you for a favor."

Shen Xiaoye waved his hands repeatedly, "I am a junior, I dare not take your name, if you need cloth, there are several thousand in my family that can be transferred to you."

"No, no, no, I still have most of the cloth from the last batch." As soon as Mr. Miao said this, Shen Xiaoye and his cousin looked at each other implicitly.

Perhaps Miao Dongjia felt that he was wrong, so he immediately said, "It's not that they can't be sold, but the various goods in the same batch have been detained in Xuanhua and have not been cleared yet."

"You haven't been out for such a long time?" Shen Cungeng was surprised.

Miao Dongjia smiled bitterly: "No, I made a wrong judgment, the convoy did not reach Wucheng, and the army continued to leave from there.

So he quickly turned back to Xuanhua and urgently found someone to sell some of the goods.

Unexpectedly, when the caravans were requisitioned, they found that some people were smuggling iron pots, so the captain temporarily seized all our goods. "

"This?" The two siblings looked at each other again.

Miao Dongjia continued: "We have found someone, and we don't ask for all the goods to be released, but the person who took charge of the goods has escaped, and no one is willing to release the goods.

A few friends and I went to Beijing to look for him for a long time, but unexpectedly... Alas, there is really nothing we can do now.

Miss Shen, can you find Mr. Lu who came with you to sign the contract last time and smooth things over? I will definitely reward you handsomely later."

He and the Shen family did business with thousands of pieces of cloth, so naturally he would pay attention to them. Since he learned that General Lu's nephew also came to place an order, he had asked about them a thing or two.

This chance encounter suddenly reminded him of Mr. Lu, whom he had only met once, and Mr. Miao also wanted to give it a try.

While the two siblings were deep in thought, Taoist Master Hengxi asked, "May I ask if Master Miao has brought any restricted items such as iron pots and scissors out of seclusion?"

"Absolutely not. I don't even have salt. I only have various kinds of cloth, brown sugar, tea, melon seeds and dried fruits.

Tea also has tea primers." Mr. Miao immediately guaranteed.

Shen Xiaoye hesitated for a moment and said, "Miao, this is the first time I've encountered this.

You don't need to tell me who that captain is. As for Mr. Lu, I can bring this up when I meet him, but I can't guarantee the outcome."

Miao Dongjia quickly stood up and bowed: "It is a great favor for you to bring a message. I have been living in Jiejia Hutong. Thank you for your concern, Miss Shen."

After he finished speaking, he tactfully said goodbye. When Shen Cungeng escorted him out the door, Shen Changsui came out from the back of the living room and said, "It's possible that his goods may not be safe."

"But he certainly wouldn't be willing to give up everything. At that time, he spent nearly three thousand taels of cloth just from us." Shen Xiaoye thought for a moment and said, "If he often trades with small tribes in Wucheng, he should know a lot of people."

"It's hard to say. It won't be much if I tell Lu Guan anything." Shen Changsui thought it was just a matter of saying a word, and it would be up to Lu Guan to decide whether it could be done or not.

He said, "Master, my hair is already dry, can I go now?"

"Where are you going?" Lu Guan's voice came from outside the door.

Shen Xiaoye hurried forward to open the curtain, and unexpectedly saw that he was accompanied by a white-bearded old man.

At a glance, she saw the medicine box on the other person's back and said politely, "Please come in quickly."

It was quite a coincidence that just as Miao Dongjia left the alley and walked into the branch lane, Lu Guan came in on horseback from another entrance of the alley.

When Shen Cungeng heard that he had brought the imperial physician, he forgot everything else and quickly invited the person in.

The old imperial physician's diagnosis was the same as Heng Xidao's, and he had had successful cases before.

So that day, Shen Changsui was covered with ointment and blindfolded with a white cloth, and it was agreed that he would go to Lao Yu's house for acupuncture every afternoon.

Shen Xiaoye was naturally more than happy to do so. After sending the man away with many thanks, she ran back to ask her uncle how he felt.

This made Lu Guan laugh at her: "It's not that magical. We have to wait two days to see the effect."

"I think it's a good idea. Young Master Shen was temporarily blinded because he hit his head." Taoist Master Hengxi was studying the prescription.

Shen Changsui said: "Why did the Taoist priest call me again? We are all familiar with each other, so it is more convenient to call each other by name."

"Hahaha, okay, sometimes I'll spit.

Brother Geng, how about coming with me to get some medicine?" the Taoist priest suggested.

Of course Shen Cungeng nodded and was willing to go, but when he was about to withdraw money from Shen Xiaoye, he was stopped by Lu Guan.
